    Back in mid December, I went to my friend’s ranch to do some gun deer hunting.

    Looks like a fun time John! Seeing those images is certainly making me hungry. I have often wondered myself how one gets a good image around a fire, when all else is pitch black. It seems the SS would have to be so slow that one could not avoid motion blur in the subject.

    Yeah Dusty, these were all shot handheld in aperture priority with a wide angle lens.  I could have used a tripod, but it would have really slowed me down.  I like the blurring in most of the images because I think it suggests action, however the flash I was using at the time did not have rear curtain capability on my new 40D.  As a result, there was probably some uneccessary blurring of the guy on the right in pictures 3 & 4.  

    I got the 580 EX II for Christmas, and now have rear curtain flash capability.  Still probably wouldn’t have helped the building/objects in the background that were blurred, but would have made the guy on the right that moved (in picture # 3 & 4) sharp at the edges.  If I had used a tripod, the building/objects in the background on # 4 would be sharp, but as it is, I personaly don’t mind them being blurred and kind of like the effect.  Others may object to this, I’m not sure.
